The Department has equipped state-of-the-art laboratories supervised by experienced faculty members. There are trained technicians to help the students in performing the experiments.
ENGINEERING PHYSICS LABS

The Engineering Physics laboratories of DIT University are contemporary setups with spacious practical training areas for all engineering students. These have a total covered area of more than 250 square meters with a separate dark room for performing various optics experiments. There are around 48 experimental setups of 28 experiments. These relate to the field of optics, fibre optics, heat, electricity & magnetism, mechanics, electronics and modern physics, thereby covering the entire span of the syllabus. The study materials of all these experiments for reference by the students are available in the Department of Physics. The laboratory caters to the students of B.Tech registered under any of the Physics courses viz., Wave, Optics and Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, Introduction to Mechanics and Introduction to Electromagnetic Theory.
